Gmail is cool, really cool and I use it as my primary mail. I used to use other emails before but now I use gmail as my sole email. I even assess my office pop mail using gmail's pop collector. However, there are a few things that I like to see in gmail.

1. You cannot insert images and pictures into gmail message. You can send them as an attachment but you cannot insert them into the message body.

2. You cannot format the message using html. That is too bad.

OK, they are too bad but you can still do these, and it is not difficult. Very easy indeed.

To so these, first, open a google document. Write your message with message in it. Just write anything you want and insert any picture or image anywhere you want in the message. After you finish, just select the whole page and copy. Then go to gmail, open the compose window, and paste. Done! It is that easy.

Now what if you want to do some html formatting? Go to google pages, create a new web page (no, you don't need to publish it), and do what ever you want. Then select all, copy and paste in gmail. Bingo!

This is a huge coincidence, I was just looking for a way to put some images in my gmail newsletter and found a BURMESE guy blogging about it. This is quite a rare occurrence on the internet. Anyway, nice to meet you, my name is Lynn Thu Tun and I live in San Francisco.

I wanted to share a forward which had a beautiful image, and got so frustrated trying to copy paste it onto my compose page!! i tried through MS word too. finally i googled it and came across your blog, and i thought "what could a blog tell me?" but my msg has gone very much image-full, thankyou for posting this =DNeha

You are amazing!! Just when I was wondering if I should check this blog at all... And there it was! wonderful solution. Thanks a ton. I will now read your blogs not just for these techy sparks, but to get to know Myanmar and your culture if possible.Rehana

to insert "inline" pictures in G-mail, go to "Settings/Labs/Inserting Images and check Enable.Then , when you compose a new message, press Attach, and in the menu will notice a new icon,of a picture. Use this button to browse.

After inserting the inline picture in the body of the gmail you can resize it by dragging its side points.
